Oki in the Sixth
Hideki Okajima relieves Josh Beckett to start the bottom of the sixth. Beckett was at 78 pitches and throwing well. I'm a bit surprised by this move. It adds the speculation that Beckett is hurt. Francona got him out of the game as soon as possible.
Update: Okajima walks Longoria but that's it. Sox still lead 4-2 going to the seventh inning.
